Robin Lopez and His Future Here

I think more importantly Meyers is capable of playing alongside a 4 or a 5. His Mobility allows him to match up with PF's, and his Size and strength allow him to match up with centers too. Looking at his shooting percentages he lead the team in 2pt%, at .586, 3pt% at .420, ft% at .938 and efg% at .606. I wonder what his ceiling really is offensively... He's a very good passer too.

To me it's not about ROLO I want him back... But what about Kaman?

 

It sounds like Kaman is a big reason for Leonard's improvement. If that's actually the case I would love to bring Kaman back on a vet min contract to continue his mentorship of Meyers.

 

I like having this many 7 ft guys on the roster. I have no problem coming into next season with the exact roster we have now. It's minutes for bench players that will change and Wes may come off the bench when he gets back on the court..at least to get a clear idea of where he's at

 

Don't remember the specifics, but IIRC Kaman is signed for next year, team option, for a very cheap amount?

Anyone?

 

I like Rolo, but if he starts getting offers around 14-15 million, I would seriously have to consider letting him walk. He's a solid center, no doubt about that, but he's not even close to being a star player, and he's really just a role player. He's not worth that kind of money.

 

Team option for 5 million is my recollection

 

I have thoughts about Sabas EVERY night. But never because of Meyers Leonard. He gives me thoughts of Channing Frye.

 

If Aldridge stays I would love to somehow turn Robin Lopez into DeAndre Jordan. We have guys that could cover up Jordans bad free shooting if needed to be.

 

Meyers' passing (and shooting) is what reminds me of Sabas. Not that he's even 10% as good, but the fact that he's a 7'er who is good at passing excites me. Passing is such an underrated part of the game, yet I think it's among the most important things for success.

 

Kaman is partially guaranteed. Only $1 million of his $5 million. It's not a team option

 

He's got a way to go still to develop that no look over the shoulder pass that Sabos had

 

I have never EVER seen Meyers do this:


or this:


or this:


or any of these:


Meyers could be a solid passer... for a 7-footer. Sabonis was an amazing passer, period.

 

I don't think anyone is really comparing Meyers to Sabonis.

 

Meyers is playing amazingly well this series, but let's not get ahead of ourselves. Remember Jerome James?

 

Are you sad that you might lose your favorite punching bag? If CJ and Meyers keep this up, how will you be able to continue lamenting our passing on the Greek Freak, Rudy Gobert, etc?

 

He is a long way from being Sabas in the Passing department even though he is the best big on the team in that game. In comparing Meyers with Sabas at 20 years old, Meyer is the only guy in the NBA that does compare, although Sabas at 20 was amazing. The man could handle the ball and simple do things you never saw a center do. Meyer is not that Sabas but I don't know that he can't or will not be in that league. At 24 years of age, I saw Sabas take a 3 point shot, miss but get his rebound and stuff it on the way down. The other nine on the court were spectators. I can see Meyer doing this and perhaps AD.

 

Aha. That's what I was thinking of. We can dump him cheaply (costs us $1Mil) or keep him for $5mil.

Thanks.

 

Really? What the fuck chuck?

 

And he never will develop that type of game with the offensive system we are running. I loved the Walton/Sabonis high post passing game. Fun to watch.

 

Kaman is under contract for next season at like 4.5m, but only 1 million or so is guaranteed, so it's kind of like a team option in a way, but not really.
